Defining Peace - Have your say

Welcome to Defining Peace! Our newest exhibition is on display at Kala Sangam in Bradford until the 24th of July, and is free for anyone to visit during Kala Sangam's regular opening times (9am – 5pm Mon to Fri & 9am – 2pm Sat). However, we know that not everyone will be able to visit the exhibition in person, and we wanted to make sure you had the chance to have your say wherever you are. Read more
